Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a float attachment device for attaching a float to a fishing line, that is, a guiding line, in a position adjustable manner.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, this type of conventional float attachment is usually constructed with a rubber ring whose inner diameter is set slightly larger than the diameter of the thread guide. According to such a float attachment, the rubber ring inserted through the guide line,
The float can be attached to the guide line by inserting a rod-shaped attachment body connected to the float via the float connecting line. In other words, by inserting the attachment body into the rubber ring, the rubber ring is tightened and fixed to the thread guide by its own elasticity, and the fixed position relative to the guide thread is changed by inserting and removing the attachment body. The float position can be adjusted.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, such a rubber ring serving as a float attachment has a large resistance when being pulled out of the water, in combination with the fact that the attachment body is inserted. Furthermore, when the rubber ring is pulled out of the water, there is a risk that the attached body may fall off, the rubber ring itself may crack, or in extreme cases, the rubber ring may be cut off and detached. In addition to this, since the constituent material is a rubber material that easily deteriorates, it cannot withstand long-term use.

Furthermore, a weight called a shizu is generally attached to the fishing line by caulking, etc., but the weight adjustment of this shizu must be done taking into account the weight of the rubber ring, which is extremely troublesome and the adjustment range is limited. It is reduced by the weight of the rubber ring and cannot be adjusted indefinitely. In particular, fine adjustment is extremely difficult.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a float mount that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional float mount and allows the position of the float to be adjusted satisfactorily.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the float attachment device of the present invention is provided with a float connecting portion in which a series of fishing line insertion passages are formed through and communicated with each other so as to be relatively movable in the direction along the fishing line insertion passages. a first fitting structure and a second fitting structure, and a part of the fishing line insertion passage is formed into a fishing line fixing part that can be freely reduced in diameter by forming an elongated hole in its peripheral wall; A diameter reduction deformation operation is performed between the two attachment components, by relative movement of the attachment components, between the fishing line fixing state where the fishing line is immovably held in the fishing line fixing section and the fishing line moving state where the fishing line is movably held. The relative movement position of the fishing line fixing operating mechanism and the attachment component is locked at one or more operating positions at least at which the fishing line fixing portion is not deformed in diameter beyond the fishing line movable operating state. , and a releasable lock mechanism, and the entire body is made of a plastic material having a specific gravity that is approximately the same as or lower than that of water or seawater. Specifically, the specific gravity of this plastic material is preferably about 1.5 or less.

[Effect]

The float is connected to the float connecting portion of the first attachment component through an appropriate connection member such as a float connection line, the fishing line is inserted through the fishing line insertion passage, and both attachment components are moved relative to each other. By reducing the diameter of the fishing line fixing portion to the fishing line fixing operating state by the fishing line fixing operation mechanism, the float attaching device and thus the float can be attached to the fishing line at any desired position.
Since it is made of a plastic material with a specific gravity that is approximately the same as or lower than that of water or seawater, it is not necessary to take the weight of the float attachment into account when adjusting the weight of the float, and it is easy to do so. Allows fine adjustment.

In addition, since the relative movement position of both attachment components is locked at one or more preset operating positions by the lock mechanism, the fishing line clamping force at the fishing line fixing part is exceptionally effective when operating the operating part. It can be set up reliably and easily without having to pay attention to the problem, and when changing the fishing line to one with a different diameter or adjusting the mounting position of the float attachment, there is no possibility that the two attachment components will separate. Alternatively, erroneous operations such as tightening the fishing line more strongly than necessary and damaging it can be reliably prevented. For example, if the fishing line fixing part is locked so that the relative movement of both attachment components is disabled when the fishing line is in the fishing line movable state, the diameter of the fishing line fixing part is reduced to the fishing line fixing state. is reliably prevented, the float can be moved to any position relative to the fishing line, and the float position can be adjusted properly without causing erroneous operations. Furthermore, when fishing, it is possible to easily select whether to use a fixed float or a floating float.

Moreover, since the fishing line fixing part is configured to be able to be deformed in diameter by the elongated hole formed in the peripheral wall of the fishing line insertion passage, the fishing line can be bent outside the passage as if a cut groove was formed in the peripheral wall. Handle without spilling,
It is easy to operate, and there is no risk that the fishing line will be damaged due to the diameter reduction deformation of the fishing line fixing part.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be specifically explained based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.

As shown in FIG. 1, the float attachment 1 of this embodiment has first and second attachments molded from a plastic material having a specific gravity that is approximately the same as or lower than that of water or seawater (approximately 1.5 or less). It is constructed into an upper and lower halves, consisting of bodies 2 and 3, and is said to float on water or seawater or gradually sink, and has a streamlined spindle shape as a whole.

The first fixture structure 2 is configured in a mushroom shape, including a head 4 whose diameter gradually expands downward, a screw portion 5 and a fishing line fixing portion 6 that are vertically disposed at the lower end of the head 4. 1st
A linear first fishing line insertion hole 7a is formed in the center of the fixture structure 2, extending from the head 4 to the fishing line fixing part 6.

An annular groove 8 formed on the peripheral surface of the head 4
A connecting member 9, which is a float connecting portion, is attached to the float by bending an elastic wire material. As shown in FIG. 1, this connecting member 9 is bent into a figure 8 shape having annular portions 9a and 9b orthogonal to each other, and by fitting the large-diameter annular portion 9a into the annular groove portion 8, It is rotatably and removably attached to the head 4. Further, a float connecting thread 10 is connected to the small diameter annular portion 9b. If the connecting member 9 is rotatably attached in this way, the float connecting thread 1
0 will not get entangled with the fishing line 11. by the way,
The number of turns of the wire material in the connecting member 9 is set to 2 or less in consideration of ease of attachment and detachment to the head 4. Further, the small diameter annular portion 9b is configured to have a diameter as small as possible in order to reduce resistance, and to be twisted at an angle of 45 degrees or more (preferably 90 degrees) with respect to the large diameter annular portion 9a. With this configuration, attachment of the connecting member 9 to the groove portion 8 is also facilitated. In addition, in this embodiment, the float connecting thread 10 includes
As shown in FIG. 1, a bottomed cylindrical rubber attachment body 12
are connected. This attachment body 12 has a float 13
is inserted and installed. In this way, it becomes easy to attach/remove/replace the float etc. Note that a connecting hole may be formed in the head 4 and used as a float connecting portion. In this case, the float connecting thread 10 is tied directly to the head 4 through the connecting hole. Also,
If a connecting fitting 21 as shown in FIG. 6 is connected to the connecting member 9, it is convenient because the electric float can be easily attached and detached.

In addition, the fishing line fixing part 6 includes the parts shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, elongated holes 14, 14 opening in the first fishing line insertion hole 7a are formed in an opposing manner, and by applying an external force in the radial direction, the first fishing line insertion hole 7a can be partially contracted. It is devised so that it can be changed in diameter. The width of each elongated hole 14 is set to be slightly narrower than the diameter of the insertion hole 7a passing through the fishing line fixing part 6.

The second fixture structure 3 is formed into a cylindrical body whose diameter gradually decreases downward. A linear second fishing line insertion hole 7b is formed in the center of the second attachment structure 3, and when both attachment structures 2 and 3 are integrated, the first and second fishing line insertion holes 7a , 7b, a series of fishing line insertion passages 7 are formed.

The inner circumferential surface of the fixture structure 3 has a threaded groove 1 into which the threaded portion 5 of the first fixture structure 2 can be screwed.
5 is engraved, and the two attachment components 2 and 3 are screwed together so as to be relatively movable along the fishing line insertion path 7.

The fishing line fixing part 6 is movably held between the fishing line fixing action state in which the fishing line 11 is immovably held between the two attachment components 2 and 3 by relative movement of the attachment components 2 and 3. A fishing line fixing operation mechanism 16 that performs a diameter reduction deformation operation during a fishing line movable action state.
and locking the relative movement position of the attachment components 2 and 3 at one or more operation positions, at least at an operation position that does not cause the fishing line fixing part 6 to be deformed in diameter beyond the fishing line movable operating state. A releasable lock mechanism 17 is provided.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fishing line fixing operation mechanism 16 includes a cam portion 18 in the shape of a truncated cone that tapers downward and protrudes from the circumferential surface of the fishing line fixing portion 6. A diameter reducing surface 19 in the shape of a truncated cone is formed at the lower part of the inner surface of the concrete structure 3.
Note that a portion of the cam portion 18 corresponding to each elongated hole 6a is cut out. Therefore, both fixture components 2,
3 is relatively screwed in the direction in which the attachment 1 is contracted, the cam part 18 is pressed in the radial direction by the diameter-reducing surface 19, and the fishing line fixing part 6, that is, the fishing line insertion passage 7, is partially deformed to reduce its diameter. Then, the fishing line 11 is clamped and fixed. By the way, as a means to ensure elastic deformation of the fishing line fixing part 6, it is possible to form a plurality of grooves in the fishing line fixing part 6. case,
There is a risk that the guide thread 11 may be caught in the cut groove. However, if the elastic deformation of the fishing line fixing part 6 is ensured by the elongated hole 14 as described above, this problem will not occur even when using a thin guide line 11.
Regardless of the diameter of the guide thread 11 used, the fixture 1 can be properly and easily fixed to the guide thread 11 without damaging it. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, if a plurality of anti-slip grooves 2a, 3a, etc. extending in the vertical direction are carved on the circumferential surface of each fixture structure 2, 3, Relative screw operation can be easily performed.

Further, the lock mechanism 17 includes a pair of lock bodies 2 between the head 5 of the first fixture structure 2 and the upper end of the second fixture structure 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
0 and 20 are inserted. Lock body 20, 20
is of cylindrical shape with uneven parts 20a..., 20b... formed on the opposing ends, and the first fixture structure 2
It is rotatably inserted into the threaded portion 5 of. Note that each lock body 20 is molded from the same material as the fixture components 2 and 3.

Therefore, if the lock bodies 20, 20 are rotated so that the opposing protrusions 20b, 20b can abut each other, when the fixture components 2, 3 are relatively screwed in the reduction direction, , the screwing operation becomes impossible when the protrusions 20b, 20b collide with each other (FIG. 1). In this state, the fishing line fixing portion 6 is not deformed in diameter, or even if it is deformed in diameter, the amount of deformation is small, and the fishing line 11 is not clamped and fixed. Therefore, the float position can be easily adjusted without separating the fixture components 2 and 3, and erroneous operations such as separation of the fixture components 2 and 3 when adjusting the float position can be prevented. This can be reliably avoided without providing any special means for preventing separation of the structures 2 and 3.

In such a fishing line movable state, when the lock bodies 20, 20 are rotated to a position where the opposing recesses 20a and protrusions 20b can fit together, the attachment components 2, 3 are moved in the shrinking direction. The screw feed restriction is released, and the fishing line fixing portion 6 can be reduced in diameter to a fishing line fixing state in which the fishing line 11 can be clamped and fixed.

By the way, the protrusions 20b of the lock bodies 20, 20,
If the relative rotation of the lock bodies 20, 20 is not artificially prevented, there is a risk that the abutting state of the locks 20b will be released by rotating the attachment components 2, 3. This inconvenience can be solved by forming minute unevenness 20'a, 20'b on the opposing ends of each convex part 20b, 20b so that they can engage with each other, as shown in FIG. can. That is, by engaging the unevenness 23'a, 23'b with each other, the relative rotation of the lock bodies 20, 20 is prevented regardless of the rotation operation of the fixture components 2, 3, and the above-mentioned artificial The abutting state of the protrusions 20b, 20b can be ensured without any operation.

Incidentally, it is also possible to set a plurality of relative screwing operation positions in the reduction direction of the fixture structures 2 and 3 that are locked by the locking mechanism 17. Specifically, for example, a plurality of types of uneven portions may be formed on each lock body 20, 20. In this way, the fishing line holding force (including the case where the movement of the fishing line 19 is not hindered) can be reliably adjusted in a stepwise manner by the diameter reduction deformation of the fishing line fixing part 6 according to the thickness of the fishing line 11 used. It can be done.

Therefore, according to the float attachment 1 configured as described above, the float can be placed at any position on the thread guide 11 by simply screwing the attachment components 2 and 3 relative to each other, as shown in FIG. The fixture 1 can be fixed, and the position of the float 13 can be freely adjusted. Moreover, since the entire float attachment 1 is made of a plastic material having a specific gravity that is approximately the same as or lower than that of water or seawater, the float attachment 1 is made to float in water or seawater or gradually sink. Since the weight of the shim can be ignored, the weight of the shim can be adjusted freely, and in particular, fine adjustment can be easily performed. Furthermore, since the float attachment 1 is spindle-shaped, the resistance when pulling it out of the water is extremely small.

Note that the configuration of the float attachment 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible.

For example, the fixture structures 2 and 3 may be configured to be connected by engagement instead of screwing. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, a groove 3b is formed at the lower end of the second fixture structure 3 to prevent the groove 22 from protruding from the circumferential surface of the fixture structure 3. By attaching it, the resistance of the sheath 22 to water can be almost eliminated, and at the same time, there is no risk that the guiding thread 11 will be damaged by attaching the sheath, as in the case where the sheath is attached directly to the guiding thread 11. do not have. Moreover, the mechanism fits easily and beautifully.

By the way, it is of course desirable that the float attachment 1 according to the present invention be made as small as possible, but if the structure etc. are considered, it is generally 4 to 4 in diameter.
It is appropriate to use a material with a length of 10 mm and a length of 8 to 15 mm.

[Effect of idea]

As can be easily understood from the above explanation, the float attachment of the present invention allows the position of the float to be adjusted easily and reliably, and the weight of the sinker to be adjusted easily and arbitrarily. This allows for fine adjustment. In addition, it has extremely low water resistance, excellent durability and ease of handling, and has extremely great practical value.
